Love this app! It makes me want to get out and run when I'm not in the mood, don't want to be last. I'd love to be able to pick a distance.

Great theory, great app!!

This app is new & still being tweaked but it's great!! I used it with a running buddy & had a great 5K workout. There aren't many 5K's in our area. I really like having the opportunity to to run them, with other runners, more often. The app tells your distance, pace & where you are compared to other runners (from around the country/world!!). Once the race is over you can see your finish results on the website. It's unique, innovative & can be used both as a 5K race or a training run. Download it & go for a run!!

Tried this app on opening day. Worked great they had irish music playing, starter voice came on and counted down to start time then start horn blew. Off you go Just think you will be running on your own course against runners from all over the country or the world. You could someday have a million people running and you could be in from the beginning. So spead the word a lot of runners own iphones. This is agreat idea. I love it.
